Quick answer
- Key West all-inclusive resorts do not exist in 2026: no Key West hotel includes all meals and drinks in its rate. The only true all-inclusive in the Florida Keys is Bungalows Key Largo (adults 21+, $799 to $2,099 a night, about 99 miles from Key West).
- Little Palm Island is not all-inclusive. Its 15% resort fee covers boat transfers, minibar drinks and snacks and water toys, but meals and alcohol are billed with a 22% gratuity.
- Closest alternatives: Playa Largo in Key Largo sells a beverage-inclusive package; Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada and Hawks Cay on Duck Key are full-service resorts where meals are extra.
- In Key West itself, book a harbor or Duval Street hotel such as The Marker (Tripadvisor 4.5/5 from 3,512 reviews) or Ocean Key Resort (4.5/5 from 5,095) and budget for food; the restaurants are the point.
- Getting there: fly into Miami (63 miles to Bungalows Key Largo) or Key West (EYW, whose short runway limits it to A319-size jets), and drive the 106.5-mile Overseas Highway.
- Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 and peaks around September 10. The driest, busiest months are December to April.
Our verdict
Our verdict: book Bungalows for all-inclusive, Key West for everything else
If you want one price for food and drinks in the Keys, there is only one place to book: Bungalows Key Largo. It is adults only, drinks include premium spirits, and reviews of the food are mixed but mostly positive; the trade-off is a high nightly rate and small beaches. Stay four nights or more so the steakhouse is included.
If you were picturing Key West, accept that the town works against the all-inclusive model. Its strength is walking to dinner, Mallory Square at sunset and bars on Duval Street, so a harbor hotel such as The Marker, plus a food budget, beats any package. Couples who want seclusion and can spend freely should book Little Palm Island, then add meals. Families should look at Hawks Cay, which has a lagoon, marina and a new waterpark due in December 2026, while anglers and divers who want old-school polish belong at Cheeca Lodge. Playa Largo is the middle ground: a Key Largo beach resort with a drinks-inclusive package. These picks are based on published inclusions, fees and Tripadvisor, Kayak and Trip.com review patterns as of October 2026.

Are there all-inclusive resorts in Key West?
No. As of October 2026 we found no Key West hotel or resort that includes all meals and drinks in its rate, and the 'Key West all-inclusive packages' you see advertised are usually flight-plus-hotel bundles or hotels with a breakfast credit. Tripadvisor's own Florida all-inclusive list includes The Marker Key West, which sells rooms, not meals.
Key West is a small, walkable town of restaurants, bars and guesthouses, and its hotels compete on location rather than packages. The only true all-inclusive in the entire island chain is Bungalows Key Largo, roughly 99 miles up the road.
Your realistic options:
- Want all-inclusive? Book Bungalows Key Largo and do Key West as a long day trip or a separate two nights.
- Want Key West? Book a waterfront hotel near Duval Street or Mallory Square and eat out.
- Want something in between? Look at drink packages (Playa Largo) and resort fees that bundle water toys and transfers (Little Palm Island, Hawks Cay).

Guest ratings
Tripadvisor4.1/5 · 547Trip.com7.8/10 · 40Kayak8.9/10 · 195Checked Oct 2026; review counts in grey.
Our take
Bungalows Key Largo is the closest Florida gets to a Caribbean adults-only all-inclusive, and for couples who want meals and drinks covered it is the best resort on this page. Everyone is 21 or older, and the rate covers all meals at five restaurants, premium spirits, selected wines and beer, poolside and beachside dining, cabanas, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, yoga and bikes, plus local rides within 5 miles. The steakhouse, Bogie and Bacall's, is included only on stays of four nights or more, spa treatments cost extra, and tipping is at your discretion. Published all-inclusive rates run $799 to $2,099 a night, and The Points Guy saw Garden Bungalows from about $1,349 in summer 2026. Reviews are good rather than great: Tripadvisor shows 4.1 out of 5 from 547 reviews and Trip.com 7.8 out of 10. Trip.com guests praise the food and the privacy of the bungalows, but Kayak's review summary (8.9 out of 10 from 195 reviews) lists food quality as its top complaint, value is a recurring theme, and one October 2026 reviewer described a troubling check-in experience. It is about 63 miles from Miami International. Book it for a long weekend or a honeymoon of four nights or more so the steakhouse is included. Skip it if you want a big sandy beach or a lively scene.
Skip it if You are under 21, traveling with kids, or want a wide sandy beach.
Our category scores

What guests say
The food across all the restaurants is absolutely delicious.
Overall, nice place, but exceptionally expensive for what it is.
An October 2026 guest said problems with check-in and room access left them feeling unsafe and concerned about how the resort handled it.
Kayak's review summary flags food quality as the top complaint (5 reviews) and calls room service extremely expensive for an all-inclusive.

2Best splurge (not all-inclusive)
Little Palm Island Resort & Spa
Little Torch Key, Florida Keys
$2,281–$2,569 per night for two · Kayak, 2 adults, per-night rate for Oct 26–28, 2026 dates, including taxes and fees; checked October 2026
Our take
Little Palm Island is the most romantic resort in Florida and one of the most misunderstood: it is not all-inclusive, even though it ranks for that search. The private island off Little Torch Key is reached only by boat, about 15 minutes, or by seaplane; children under 18 are not allowed on the island, and you must be 21 to check in. Thatched-roof bungalows, a Relais & Châteaux setting and a Michelin Guide mention make it a honeymoon classic. The pricing structure is the thing to understand. A 15% resort fee on the suite rate covers the motor yacht transfers, a welcome cocktail, minibar drinks and snacks, valet parking, Wi-Fi, the fitness center, paddleboards, kayaks, Boston Whaler boats and turndown, so a good chunk of the day is effectively included. Meals and alcohol in The Dining Room are billed separately with 7.5% tax and a 22% gratuity, and suites carry 12.5% tax. Tripadvisor rates it 4.6 out of 5 from 1,378 reviews. Book it for a honeymoon or anniversary of three or four nights and budget generously for dining. Skip it if you want a set price for food and drink; Bungalows Key Largo is the all-inclusive alternative.
Skip it if You want a fixed price that includes meals and drinks.
Our category scores
Pros
- Private island, reached by boat or seaplane
- Resort fee covers transfers, minibar, kayaks and Boston Whalers
- Adults only, with a strong Tripadvisor score (4.6/5)
- Relais & Châteaux setting with thatched-roof bungalows

- Not all-inclusive: meals and alcohol carry a 22% gratuity
- 15% resort fee and 12.5% room tax on top of the rate
- Strict cancellation policy (non-refundable inside 30 days)

What guests say
Kayak's review summary says guests rave about the comfort of the beds and describe the views from the rooms as spectacular; 10 of 14 verified ratings are 'Wonderful'.
No ocean access for swimming - big dissapointment
I didn't like the odor of low tide.

3Best for families (not all-inclusive)
Hawks Cay Resort
Duck Key, Florida Keys
Our take
Hawks Cay is the Florida Keys resort we would book for a family, and it is often mistaken for an all-inclusive because so much happens on site. It is not: meals and drinks are paid as you go. What you get is 60 acres on Duck Key, roughly the middle of the Keys, with rooms and villas, five restaurants, several pools including the adults-only Oasis Cay pool, a natural saltwater lagoon, a full-service marina, the Calm Waters Spa and a daily activity calendar. The big 2026 news is the Coral Cay Adventure and Waterpark, which the resort says will open in December 2026 with waterslides, splash zones, sports and arcade games, so expect the family appeal to rise. Tripadvisor rates it 4.0 out of 5 from 2,404 reviews, with reviewers describing it as clean and fun with good food. Because every meal is extra, budget for dining or book one of the resort's villas. Book it for a spring-break or summer week with kids who like the water. Skip it if you want an all-inclusive price or a long natural beach; the lagoon is the swimming highlight.
Skip it if You want an all-inclusive rate or a wide sandy beach.
Our category scores
Pros
- 60 acres with a saltwater lagoon, pools and marina
- Five restaurants on site
- New Coral Cay waterpark due December 2026
- Adults-only pool for parents' downtime
Cons
- Not all-inclusive: meals and drinks are extra
- Tripadvisor 4.0/5, lower than the Keys' best
- No long natural beach
- Setting
- 60 acres on Duck Key (61 Hawks Cay Blvd)
- Dining
- Five restaurants
- New in 2026
- Coral Cay Adventure and Waterpark, opening December 2026
- Facilities
- Saltwater lagoon, adults-only Oasis Cay pool, marina, Calm Waters Spa
What guests say
Recent reviewers describe Hawks Cay as clean and fun, with good food.
Overall great location and convenient to restaurants.
only issue was wrong charges on the bill when checking out.
Customer service is the most common complaint in Kayak's review summary (29 reviews), and 10 reviewers felt the $25-per-person breakfast was poor value.

4Best for fishing and diving (not all-inclusive)
Cheeca Lodge & Spa
Islamorada, Florida Keys
Our take
Cheeca Lodge is the classic Islamorada resort and the one we would pick if fishing, diving or snorkeling is the reason for your trip. It sits on 27 oceanfront acres at mile marker 82, with a golf course, tennis, a spa and a run of restaurants that includes Atlantic's Edge, Mia Cucina, Nikai Sushi, a tiki bar and 25 South. Charters and dive trips leave from the doorstep for the reef at what the resort calls North America's only living coral barrier reef. Tripadvisor tags it 'all inclusive' in its Florida filter, but it is not: meals and drinks are paid as you go, and reviewers on the same list say exactly that while praising the included water sports gear and the views. With 7,669 Tripadvisor reviews averaging 4.2 out of 5, it is one of the most reviewed resorts in the Keys. Book it for a fishing or anniversary trip and budget for meals; Islamorada's restaurants are a short drive away. Skip it if you want an all-inclusive rate, and look at Bungalows Key Largo, 17 miles up the road, instead.
Skip it if You want meals and drinks included in one price.
Our category scores
Pros
- 27 oceanfront acres with golf and tennis
- Excellent base for fishing charters, snorkeling and diving
- Water sports gear included, per reviewers
- Several restaurants on site
Cons
- Not all-inclusive despite the Tripadvisor tag
- Luxury pricing for a resort where meals are extra
- Islamorada traffic on the Overseas Highway at weekends
- Setting
- 27 oceanfront acres, 81801 Overseas Highway (MM 82)
- Dining
- Atlantic's Edge, Mia Cucina, Nikai Sushi, Tiki Bar, 25 South and more
- Activities
- Fishing charters, snorkeling, kayaking, scuba, golf and tennis
- Meals
- Not included
What guests say
Recent reviewers single out the included water sports gear and the ocean views as highlights of a stay.
Reviewers on Tripadvisor's all-inclusive list point out that meals and drinks are not all-inclusive, so guests expecting a package rate are surprised by the extra bills.
Kayak's summary of 1,510 reviews praises the location, staff, pools and restaurants, but notes complaints about cleanliness, outdated rooms and occasional service lapses.

5Best Key West base (not all-inclusive)
The Marker Key West Harbor Resort
Old Town, Key West
Our take
If you came to the Keys for Key West, stay in Key West and skip the all-inclusive idea. The Marker is our pick because it puts you on the harbor in Old Town at 200 William Street, a short walk from Mallory Square's sunset celebration, the Duval Street bars and the town's best restaurants, which is the real Key West experience. It is a compact two-acre resort with 96 rooms and suites, three pools and one restaurant and bar, so you will eat out most of the time. Tripadvisor rates it 4.5 out of 5 from 3,512 reviews and gives it a Travelers' Choice badge; reviewers consistently praise the location and walkability, while the common complaint is front-desk service. Tripadvisor's Florida all-inclusive filter lists it, but it sells rooms, not meals. Budget roughly $150 to $300 a day for two for food and drinks in Key West. Book it for a long weekend of sunsets, seafood and bar-hopping. Skip it if you want a beach resort; Key West's beaches are small, and the Lower Keys' Bahia Honda is an hour's drive.
Skip it if You want a beach resort or prepaid meals.
Our category scores
Pros
- Walk to Mallory Square, Duval Street and the harbor restaurants
- Three pools on a quiet two-acre site
- Tripadvisor 4.5/5 with a Travelers' Choice badge
- No car needed in Old Town
Cons
- Not all-inclusive: one restaurant, meals and drinks extra
- Front-desk service draws complaints
- No real beach
- Rooms
- 96 rooms and suites
- Setting
- Two acres on the harbor, 200 William Street, Old Town

- Three pools, one restaurant and bar
- Airport
- Key West International (EYW), about 2 miles from downtown
What guests say
Reviewers praise the harbor location and the ability to walk to bars and restaurants in Old Town.
Some recent reviewers report weak front-desk service, a sore point at this price level.
Beautiful resort, walking distance to almost everything!
We knew parking was $35.00 per day, but, the other chgs were unknown.
6Best for sunsets on Duval Street (not all-inclusive)
Ocean Key Resort & Spa
Duval Street, Key West
$414–$1,578 per night for two · Kayak's range of rooms booked in the two weeks before mid-October 2026, per night with fees
Our take
Ocean Key Resort is the Key West hotel for travelers who want to be in the middle of things. Its address is literally 0 Duval Street, at the foot of the town's famous bar street and beside Mallory Square's nightly sunset celebration, and its Sunset Pier bar sits over the water for the show. On-site options include the Hot Tin Roof restaurant, the LIQUID pool bar and lounge, the Sweet Bird bar and a spa, and it is part of Noble House, the same group as Little Palm Island. It is not all-inclusive in any form, so treat it as a base for eating and drinking your way around Old Town. Tripadvisor rates it 4.5 out of 5 from 5,095 reviews and Kayak 8.8 out of 10 from 498. Reviewers praise the location, staff, roomy rooms and views, while the complaints are noise (roosters, early trucks and a busy street), recent construction disruption and unexpected extra charges. Kayak shows recent bookings at about $414 to $1,578 a night. Book it for a short Key West stay focused on sunsets and nightlife. Skip it if you want quiet; The Marker, a few blocks away on the harbor, is calmer.
Skip it if You want a quiet hotel, a beach or prepaid meals.
Our category scores
Pros
- Unbeatable location at 0 Duval Street by Mallory Square
- Sunset Pier bar over the water
- Tripadvisor 4.5/5 from 5,000+ reviews

Great location on Duval at Mallory Square waterfront.
Kayak's review summary praises the prime location, friendly and attentive staff, spacious clean rooms, views and the restaurant and bar.
Complaints mention construction and renovation disruption, noise from roosters and early-morning trucks, a damp smell in some rooms, valet delays and unexpected extra charges.

Pros & cons
The Florida Keys for an all-inclusive trip: why go, why not
Reasons to go
- No passport, and Key Largo is about 1.5 hours from Miami International
- Bungalows Key Largo is a genuine adults-only all-inclusive with premium drinks
- World-class fishing, snorkeling and diving on the only living coral barrier reef in North America
- Key West's restaurants, bars and sunsets are easy to add to a trip
- Dry, warm winters from December to April
Reasons to think twice
- Only one true all-inclusive in the whole island chain
- Small or man-made beaches at most resorts
- One highway in and out, with slow holiday traffic
- Hurricane season from June to November, peaking in September
- High prices: Bungalows runs $799 to $2,099 a night
Bungalows Key Largo: the only all-inclusive resort in the Florida Keys
Bungalows Key Largo is adults only (21 and over) and sits on 12 acres with 1,000 feet of shoreline at 99010 Overseas Highway. Per the resort's inclusions page, the rate covers:
- All meals, including small bites and fine dining, at five restaurants, plus poolside and beachside dining
- Welcome drinks, premium alcoholic beverages, selected wines and beer, and wine, beer and spirits tastings
- Two pools with hot tubs, two small beaches and poolside and beachside cabanas
- Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, a water trike, snorkel gear, group yoga and a fitness tiki hut with Peloton bikes
- Cruiser bikes for use on property, valet parking, Wi-Fi and in-town transportation within a 5-mile radius
Extra: the Bogie and Bacall's steakhouse on stays under four nights, spa treatments, in-room dining and paid excursions such as sunset sails. Tipping is at your discretion. The resort publishes all-inclusive rates of $799 to $2,099 a night depending on bungalow type and dates, and its comparison table puts a nearby full-service resort at $449 to $2,000 a night before meals, drinks, parking and resort fees.
Policies to know: a 50% deposit is due at booking, reservations become non-refundable 30 days before arrival, and early check-in or late check-out costs $300 plus tax (FAQ). Miami International is 63 miles away, Fort Lauderdale 87.
Is Little Palm Island all-inclusive?
No, and the confusion is understandable. Little Palm Island on Little Torch Key is a private-island resort with thatched-roof bungalows, reachable only by boat (about 15 minutes) or seaplane, and children under 18 are not allowed on the island. Its pricing works like this:
- A 15% resort fee on the suite rate covers a welcome cocktail, valet parking, motor yacht transfers, minibar beverages and snacks, Wi-Fi, the fitness center, paddleboards, kayaks, Boston Whaler boats and nightly turndown.
- Meals and alcohol are charged separately, with 7.5% tax and a 22% gratuity.
- The suite rate carries 12.5% tax.
So the minibar and boats are effectively included, but a couple eating three meals a day at The Dining Room will add a substantial food bill. We still rate it the most romantic stay in the Keys; just budget for dining as you would at any luxury hotel.
Where to stay in the Florida Keys: Key Largo vs Islamorada vs Marathon vs Key West
The Keys are a 106.5-mile chain linked by the Overseas Highway, and addresses are given by mile marker, counting down to MM 0 in Key West; a resort at 99010 Overseas Highway, for example, sits near mile marker 99.
| Area | Example resort address (mile marker) | Best for | Resorts here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Key Largo | Bungalows, 99010 Overseas Hwy (MM 99) | Shortest drive from Miami, snorkeling at John Pennekamp, the only all-inclusive | Bungalows Key Largo, Playa Largo, Baker's Cay |
| Islamorada | Cheeca Lodge, 81801 Overseas Hwy (MM 82) | Sport fishing, upscale low-key resorts | Cheeca Lodge, Islander Resort |
| Marathon and Duck Key | Hawks Cay, Duck Key (about MM 61) | Families, boating, the Seven Mile Bridge | Hawks Cay, Isla Bella Beach Resort |
| Lower Keys | Little Palm Island dock, 28500 Overseas Hwy (MM 28.5) | Quiet nature, Bahia Honda's beaches | Little Palm Island |
| Key West | The Marker, 200 William St (Old Town) | Nightlife, restaurants, history, sunsets | The Marker, Ocean Key Resort, Casa Marina |
If you want the most beach for the money, the Keys disappoint compared with the Bahamas or Turks and Caicos; much of the shoreline is rock and mangrove, and many resorts have small, man-made beaches. Bahia Honda State Park in the Lower Keys is the classic exception.

Getting there: flights to Miami or Key West and driving the Overseas Highway
Fly into Miami (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL) for the most flights and cheapest fares. Bungalows Key Largo is 63 miles from MIA and 87 from FLL, so allow about 1.5 hours to Key Largo and 3.5 to 4 hours to Key West in normal traffic.
Fly into Key West (EYW) if you are staying in the Lower Keys or Key West. The airport handled about 1.48 million passengers in 2025, and its 5,076-foot runway limits service to jets the size of an Airbus A319 (Wikipedia), so fares are higher and flights fewer. Florida Keys Marathon International (MTH) has limited service.
Driving the Overseas Highway is part of the trip. U.S. 1 crosses dozens of bridges, including the 6.77-mile Seven Mile Bridge between Marathon and the Lower Keys. It is mostly two lanes, so weekend and holiday traffic can stall; leave Miami early and plan a lunch stop in Islamorada. Bungalows Key Largo includes in-town rides within 5 miles, and Little Palm Island's yacht transfer leaves from its Little Torch Key dock.

Best time to visit the Keys and hurricane season
Key West's NOAA 1991–2020 normals show highs of about 76 °F in January and 90 to 91 °F in July and August, with rainfall under 2.2 inches a month from November to April and over 5 inches in August, September and October.
- December to April: dry, breezy and the busiest, priciest season. Book Bungalows and Little Palm Island months ahead.
- May and June: warm, still fairly dry, with shoulder-season prices; a good compromise.
- July to October: hot, humid and stormy. The National Hurricane Center puts the Atlantic season at June 1 to November 30 with a peak around September 10. Because the Keys have one road out, leave early if a storm threatens rather than waiting for the last flights.
- November: a sweet spot after the storm peak and before winter prices.
If you travel in late summer, choose refundable rates or travel insurance that covers named storms. Bungalows Key Largo, for example, is non-refundable inside 30 days.

Key West resort packages and what a Keys trip really costs
Because only one Keys resort is all-inclusive, compare total trip cost rather than nightly rates. Typical extras at the non-inclusive resorts:
| Resort | What the rate includes | Main extras |
|---|---|---|
| Bungalows Key Largo | All meals, premium drinks, water toys, cabanas | Spa, excursions, steakhouse under 4 nights |
| Little Palm Island | Suite; resort fee covers transfers, minibar, boats | Meals and alcohol (+22% gratuity), 15% resort fee |
| Playa Largo | Room; beverage-inclusive package sold separately | Meals, resort fee |
| Cheeca Lodge | Room, resort amenities | Meals, drinks, fishing charters |
| Hawks Cay | Room or villa, pools and lagoon | Meals, drinks, paid water activities |
| The Marker Key West | Room on the harbor in Old Town | Meals, drinks |
As a rule of thumb, food and drinks for two at sit-down restaurants in Key West or Islamorada run roughly $150 to $300 a day, which is why Bungalows' rate looks more reasonable once you add those costs to a room-only resort.

Community
What travel-forum regulars say
Travel-forum consensus
This summary draws on the Tripadvisor Key West and Florida Keys forums, where "is there an all-inclusive?" threads come up again and again, plus recent Tripadvisor reviews of Bungalows Key Largo. Many of the forum threads are older than 2023, so treat any prices quoted in them as history. The regulars' answer matches ours: there is no all-inclusive in Key West. They argue that Old Town's restaurants, bars and sunset scene are the point of a Key West trip, so they steer people to a walkable hotel such as The Marker or Ocean Key plus a food budget; perks such as two-for-one drink cards are about as close as Key West hotels get. Posters name Bungalows Key Largo, about 99 miles up the Overseas Highway, as the one genuine all-inclusive in the Keys, but call it very high-end and note that plenty is extra. Recent reviews say the same: guests praise the grounds, bungalows and food, and complain about suggested tips on every bill, paid boat trips, a $300 early check-in and the lack of a real beach. Little Palm Island comes up for meal packages that exclude alcohol. Posters also note that Florida's other all-inclusive, the former Club Med Sandpiper (now voco Sandpiper), is on the mainland in Port St. Lucie, far from the Keys.
Key West regulars reply that the island has no all-inclusive resorts, and most suggest a walkable Old Town hotel and eating out instead, since the restaurants and bars are much of the point of a visit.
Posters name Bungalows Key Largo as the only all-inclusive in the Keys but describe it as super high-end, and a later poster warns that lots of things are extra and not part of the all-inclusive. Little Palm Island's meal packages are noted as excluding alcohol.
Headlined "Very nice but pricey and not a true all-inclusive", this Bungalows Key Largo review sums up the most common theme in recent reviews: guests like the setting and food but feel the price is high for what is included.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are there all-inclusive resorts in Key West?
No. As of October 2026 we found no Key West hotel that includes all meals and drinks in its rate; 'Key West all-inclusive packages' are usually flight-and-hotel bundles or breakfast deals. The only true all-inclusive in the Florida Keys is Bungalows Key Largo, about 99 miles from Key West. Many travelers combine a few all-inclusive nights there with two or three nights in Key West.
Is Bungalows Key Largo really all-inclusive?
Yes. The resort's rates include all meals at five restaurants, premium alcoholic drinks, selected wines and beer, cabanas, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, yoga and bikes. Exceptions are the Bogie and Bacall's steakhouse on stays under four nights, spa treatments, in-room dining and paid excursions, and tipping is at your discretion. Guests must be 21 or older, and published rates run $799 to $2,099 a night.
Is Little Palm Island all-inclusive?
No. Little Palm Island charges a 15% resort fee that covers boat transfers, a welcome cocktail, minibar drinks and snacks, Wi-Fi, kayaks, paddleboards and Boston Whalers, but meals and alcohol are billed separately with 7.5% tax and a 22% gratuity. Children under 18 are not allowed on the island. It is a superb honeymoon resort, but budget for dining as you would at any luxury hotel.
What is the best all-inclusive resort in the Florida Keys?
Bungalows Key Largo, because it is the only one. It is adults-only, includes premium drinks and has stand-alone bungalows, but reviews are good rather than outstanding (4.1 out of 5 on Tripadvisor). If you are flexible on the all-inclusive part, Little Palm Island (4.6) is the most romantic stay and Cheeca Lodge (4.2) is the classic choice for fishing and diving.
How far is Key Largo from Key West?
Bungalows Key Largo says it is 99 miles from Key West, and the full Overseas Highway runs 106.5 miles through the Keys. In normal traffic the drive from Key Largo to Key West takes around 2.5 to 3 hours, and longer on holiday weekends because the road is mostly two lanes. Miami International Airport is 63 miles from Bungalows.
When is hurricane season in the Florida Keys?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and the National Hurricane Center puts the peak around September 10, with most activity from mid-August to mid-October. Because the Keys depend on one highway, leave early if a storm threatens, and book refundable rates or insurance for late-summer trips. December to April is the driest and busiest season.
Should I fly into Key West or Miami?
Fly into Miami or Fort Lauderdale if you are staying in Key Largo or Islamorada, or if price matters; there are far more flights. Fly into Key West if your hotel is in Key West or the Lower Keys and you want to skip the drive. Key West's 5,076-foot runway limits it to jets around the size of an Airbus A319, so fares are usually higher.
Are Key West vacation packages all-inclusive?
Usually not. Most Key West packages bundle flights and a hotel, sometimes with breakfast or a resort credit, and meals and drinks are paid as you go. If you want food and drink covered, book Bungalows Key Largo, or look at drinks-only packages such as the beverage package Playa Largo in Key Largo sells. In Key West itself, budget roughly $150 to $300 a day for two for food and drinks.
